βeta: Pumpy route, good hand jam before the layback section, not the best quality rests after the traverse, felt slightly harder than 6c for me but 3 stars!

βeta: I dislodged a big block near the end on the left. This was used as a resting layback just before moving through the gap in the bulge. Not sure how the block next to it is.

βeta: Beware, very loose blocks just by 2nd bolt. Several large chunks ready to go. Could cut your rope and land on belayer if lady luck is looking the wrong way.

βeta: Awesome line. Committing moves lead to a welcome rest on the slab by the second bolt. The layback corner above is easier than it looks, then move left on good jugs and undercuts. Final tricky section to the lower-off is brilliant.
